What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Children and Families, the Department

of Corrections, a county department of human services or social services, or a

licensed child welfare agency (collectively "agency") that determines that a child over

whom the agency has placement, care, or supervision responsibility is missing to

report that determination: 1) to a local law enforcement agency within eight hours

after making that determination; and 2) to the National Center for Missing and

Exploited Children within 24 hours after making that determination. The report

must be accompanied by a recent photograph of the missing child, if available. Such

reporting is required under the federal Preventing Sex Trafficking and

Strengthening Families Act of 2014 beginning on September 29, 2016.
